"Haha, okay, okay,"

Dumbledore smiled and waved his hand, his eyes soft and deep.

"But I'll deal with the mermaids later. Don't worry, I won't agree to any really excessive requests."

He changed the subject and his eyes fell on Deveraux again, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

"The Sorting Hat's choice was right. You are a natural Slytherin. Okay, take Harry with you and let's go back to the hospital first."

After saying that, Dumbledore shook his robes, turned around and walked slowly towards Hogsmeade. His back was still upright and elegant, as if everything that had just happened was just an ordinary matter.

Deveraud looked at his back, his mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of complex emotions appeared in his eyes.

He didn't think he was a "natural Slytherin".

What he did just now was just to show those greedy and arrogant mermaids a little color.

But to be honest, at this moment, he was really happy in his heart.

Recalling how arrogant those mermaids were when the negotiations just started, as if Hogwarts owed them a huge debt.

He really gave them face, but they just took advantage of him and mistook their patience for weakness.

Born Slytherin... Slytherin...

Deverot slowed down his pace, his eyes fell on Dumbledore's back as he walked away, and he began to ponder this sentence over and over again in his mind.

Hiss--

Wait a minute! He shuddered suddenly.

Could he be affected by the term [Descendant of Slytherin]?

Recalling the scene just now, when he saw the mermaid leader surrender, the pleasure that surged from the bottom of his heart was so real.

Not to mention that when he was torturing her, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, and even felt faintly-very satisfied.

All this was really wrong.

"This is not normal."

Deverot frowned, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart.

He thought carefully about his recent actions, and felt more and more that he seemed to have changed.

Just like when he buried Harry with the boulder before, he hardly felt any emotional fluctuations, as if it was just an ordinary decision.

"What happened?"

He looked down at his hands, and then looked up at the sky.

A part of the emotion seemed to have really become indifferent, especially when it came to inflicting pain on the enemy.

But - if he really became cold-blooded, why could he sympathize with Luna when facing her experience?

Isn't it a complete change of mind, but the desire for revenge has been magnified to some extent?

"If that's the case, it's really... troublesome."

Deveraux took a deep breath and tried to sort out his thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he felt.

"Deveraux?"

A voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

He raised his head and saw that Dumbledore had stopped and was looking at him calmly.

"What's wrong?"

Dumbledore asked, his tone still that kind of gentle and unhurried.

"It's okay."

Deverot shook his head, forced himself to retract his thoughts, waved his wand, and let Harry's body continue to float in the air, following Dumbledore's steps.

But deep in his heart, a thought lingered:

"If my change is true, then I hope no one will give me too many reasons to torture them in the future. Otherwise, I guess I really can't help it."

Deverot suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped abruptly, turned his head and said to Dumbledore.

"Principal, wait a moment, I still have something to do."

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, said nothing, just nodded slightly.

Deverot turned and ran to the Black Lake. At this time, the lake surface had returned to calm. There was no previous floating ice and scalding water temperature. Only the moonlight sprinkled on the lake surface, sparkling.

He stood by the lake, waved his wand and cast a loud voice spell, and the sound rolled across the lake like thunder.

"Hey! Mermaid leader, come out!"

The water surface rippled, and soon, the mermaid leader with a bruised face slowly floated to the surface of the water.

Her eyes were full of fear, and her tail trembled slightly in the water, as if she was afraid that Deveraux would do something to her again.

"I... we can't pay so much tribute for the time being, can we give him some time?"

Her voice trembled, and her words were carefully flattering.

Deveraux frowned and waved his hand.

"Grace? Who said I'm here to urge tribute?"

The mermaid leader was stunned, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, but the fear did not diminish at all, and his tail was still stirring the water nervously.

Deveraux was not here to urge tribute, but he thought that the number of purple entries loaded today had not been used up, so he could just take a look at the entry of this mermaid leader.

He opened the panel of the mermaid leader, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and his eyes suddenly lit up - this poor mermaid leader with a bruised face actually had a golden entry!

......

[Name: Ella Rocklanak (merman)]

[Age: 27 years old]

[Spell Library: Singing Spell (Mastery)]

[Entries: Mermaid Leader (Gold), Music Race (Purple), Tamer (Purple), Close to Nature (Blue)]

......

[Mermaid leader (gold): You are the leader of the mermaids chosen by your bloodline and tribesmen. You have the mission to rule the regional mermaids. You are also loved by your tribesmen. You are born with an extraordinary talent for music. ]

[Beast Tamer (purple): You have considerable experience and skills in taming aquatic magical creatures. You can easily identify the diseases and cultivation methods of various aquatic magical animals. ]

......

Ha, this leader is quite young.

These two new entries are good. The singing that made him crazy before should also be mainly emitted by this leader.

Before, Devero was thinking, how could there be a purple entry that could affect the effect of his meditation method.

Now it is clear, but if you want to load this golden entry, you have to wait until next Monday.

Haha, I really look forward to the reaction of these mermaids. I wonder what they will think when they see the two tribe leaders?

And this purple entry is obviously the upper-level replacement that Devero loaded from another fishman before.

Without saying a word, he immediately loaded it.

【Ding! 】

【Loading copy entry: Tamer (purple)...】

【Copy completed! 】

Instantly, a large amount of knowledge about breeding and cultivating aquatic magical animals naturally flowed into Deveraux's mind.

This level of information is still a lot, but it is a piece of cake for Deveraux. When he just took over, he frowned slightly.

But seeing Deveraux frowning, the mermaid leader immediately trembled, as if afraid that the Cruciatus Curse would suddenly come down.

But Deveraux just glanced at her, then waved his hand, let her go, turned around and left, leaving the mermaid leader wandering around at a loss.

——

Hogwarts Principal's Office.

The air was filled with the faint scent of parchment and honey candy.

Dumbledore gently waved his wand, and a floral soft leather chair appeared in front of the desk. The cushions were full and soft, and it looked particularly comfortable.

"Sit down, Deveraud."

Dumbledore smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Deveraud through his half-moon glasses.

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask."

When Deveraud sat down, Dumbledore spoke calmly.

"Well, do you want to ask about the mermaids first, or about Harry?"

(Three updates! I saw that some students responded that Dumbledore's entry needs to be updated. Indeed, it will be shown later. Thank you for your feedback. The previous issue about the change of the protagonist's personality when torturing the mermaid leader was also explained in this chapter. Thank you for your comments.)
